Where is the Maytag leaking from? Even if it's the stem seal it may be worth repairing. I put a new stem seal and spin bearing in a 1994 Maytag about 2 years ago. This machine is put through worse than commercial duty by doing 10-12 loads a day, 365 days a year washing towels and clothing from a...

Whirlpool made with the rear-lint filter is still the best thing going in a traditional gas dryer. Amazing how a design can stay at the top of its game for almost 50 years!

It's definitely a 1985 model. In the late 80s GE switched from toggle switches to push buttons for the speed and temp switches. And as has been stated, by 1997 GE had abandoned the FF for "newer" designs.

1966 was the last year of there being both a Deluxe and an Imperial model Filtrator. In 1967 there was only a Deluxe model and then they went away….

Here are 15 pages of serial number data regarding Maytag wringer washing machines manufactured between November of 1939 and October of 1952.

I have a photocopy of a book from Geoff Delp. I am trying to remember if I copied it directly from him or if I got these copies through Ben Swestka. I don't recall the title of the book or who published it, but I suspect it's from some branch of the MT collector's club. I have copies of about 16...

From the serial number it would be an E2L from January of 1948.

It appears to be an A208S. 1976-1980

While the idea of wiki page has some appeal (I am a member of a few other boards with wiki resources) I kind of enjoy the fact that most of us share our knowledge and resources pretty freely here whenever anyone asks.

July of 1989.

Ben, that was the finicky one. I remember more than once starting that dryer (when it was your only one hooked up) and you reminding me to open up the door and give the drum a push to trip that switch.

Paul, I have all of the service lit and wiring diagrams scanned. Let me know what you might need. This may sound silly, but did you triple-check to make sure that the timer knob was pushed in? If it got pulled out into the "off" position nothing will happen!

That is a 1955 RV-38   Pics and service manual pic for the archive!

The washer is a model A613 and would have been manufactured between July of 1989 and December of 1990. I can tell from the agitator that it has the orbital transmission. "Series 10" would be correct in that all machines that were in the "x12" & "x13" model line-up (manufactured from July...

1980 at the newest.

As mentioned, there is no polarity to these types of capacitors. Either terminal can be connected to either spot on the electronic control. However, I think you may have other issues. If the dryer doesn't shut off when the door is opened how do you turn it off at all? Do you unplug it? Does the...

The Frigidaire in question here is for 220-240 volts, 60 Hz AC current, North American standard.   No frequency converter is required. All of the control components and the motors are designed (and do) run on 120 volt, 60Hz current (one leg to neutral.) It is ONLY the heating element that...

Laundress, it all depends on the actual power supply, wiring and the continuous duty rating of the converter. Some converters are rated for continuous duty at 80%, some at 50%.   The bigger issue here is going to be a 60 amp 120 volt power supply. It would be FAR cheaper at that point to run...

No, it won't.   It's rated at 1000 watts. Most electric dryers are rated between 5200 and 5500 watts these days.   Now if you had a 60 AMP 120 volt circuit handy AND could find a 6000 watt step-up converter then you would be in business!   The only place that I know these to exist are on...
